Hug Currency

Every day when I get home from work I dump my load (backpack, sweater, etc.) on the kitchen table...making Dave a little scowly...and then I go to my big guy's room. I knock first, then enter. And what does that guy do? Well, pretty much each and every day he gets up, walks over to me, picks me up, and gives me a huge bear hug. You'll need to picture this. He weighs way over twice what I do and towers over me. I feel like a little kid! So, what do I do? I close my eyes and embrace the embrace, of course. Funny thing, though. When I get around to opening my eyes, somehow I've always been transported to the kitchen.

Big guy: "I'm hungry mom. I haven't eaten all day."

The kid has about a 50/50 success rate with that request, all depending on my mood and energy level. The kid's smart, though. He knows that big ol' hug is working enough to justify itself.

ABOUT ME

My name is Kali Parsons and I absolutely love to create. I paint or sew almost every single day and have been doing so since 2011. I use a wide range of media including acrylic, watercolor, ink, charcoal, collage, and textiles (I love to upcycle unwanted clothing!). I'm inspired by both wonder and challenge and hope to bring joy and provoke deep thought with my work. My original paintings are available on my Daily Paintworks site and prints are available on my Etsy site. I frequently sell my art to fundraise for organizations close to my heart. Please subscribe to my blog if you'd like to receive my blog via email.
